The Flower Mandalas blog has a dual purpose:
- To explore the use of art as a means to healing and transformation.
- To ask for your help in completing The Flower Mandalas Project.
Purpose #1: My intent is to use my own Flower Mandalas and related ideas and thoughts as a springboard for a broader exploration of the topic of art, healing, and transformation. I invite you to contribute your own experiences with art, healing, and transformation to the Art, Healing, and Transformation group on Beliefnet.com. I hope that a lively discussion will ensue there. I will moderate this group and, with your permission, post a selection of your contributions on the Flower Mandalas blog. You may also contact me directly at phototransformations@davidbookbinder.com.
Purpose #2: I’d like to ask for your responses to the Flower Mandala images posted here, either briefly as comments to the blog posts or in detail on the Behance Network Fifty-Two Flower Mandalas page. My plan is to create a book of 52 Flower Mandala images, each one paired with an inspirational quotation and original essay which in some way complement the image. My hope is for each image-and-quote-and-essay triad to resonate with a fundamental aspect of human experience.
Thanks for listening and sharing.

Dear David,
Congrats on being an NDEer too!
I found Ur Flower Mandalas in my mail when I got home tired n exhausted last nite. But I was able to open n install them b4 I fell asleep!
They are SOOO BEAUTIFUL that I can hardly bear it!
I woke up just now with them playing on my puter and was filled with joy from the beauty that greeted the first blurry opening of my eyes!!!
I cannot thank U enuf for this amazing gift! I also am an artist and while studying Multimedia in Dallas, for the Advanced Photoshop class which required 6 major projects, I relied on my Divine Guidance for subject matter. The final image that came to me was a pale pink rose glowing with the Divine Light of God in a dark background.
Once the image had been given, I felt I had absolutely no idea how to make it. But, finally I was able to work it out, one petal at a time.
Ur amazing screen saver feels like s’thing along those same lines tonight!
Thank You, Thank you, thank You!!!
With Love, Iadora U!!!
